Yes, you can close it

Thank you for your reply!

the “Undo ignored recommendation” button on the extension page doesn’t affect the settings, it’s only for the extension be marked as “Recommended” in the Extensions tab.

Some options if you want this notification to not appear anymore could be:

• disable format on save for this workspace (editor.formatOnSave setting)
• set your formatting provider to none for the workspace (python.formatting.provider setting)

As for the formatter installation failure, it is because we don’t support the GitBash terminal. It should work if you use Powershell or cmd.exe.
